Bloodline Leap, a New Species

Fuck!

Xu Yang gritted his teeth and curled up on the ground, clenching them so hard they creaked. Blood even seeped from his gums and ran from the corners of his lips.

It really hurts!

His bloodline was undergoing another leap, changing him from the deepest level. Of course it hurt terribly!

It was different from the pain of being dismembered. That pain reached its peak in an instant, then the body shut down; once the pain became extreme, it was no longer felt. This, however, was continuous pain. Perhaps its momentary intensity was not as great as dismemberment, but... it lasted.

Xu Yang refused to howl like a coward. He clenched his jaw tightly, letting out low, pained groans through his nose.

Inside his body, beyond his sight.

Every cell had become a battlefield. Muscle cells, bone cells, and more were all fighting. The side effect brought by the system upgrade—Bloodline Purification—had condensed evolution that should have been spread across Long Years into a mere few dozen minutes. The intensity of it was self-evident.

Beneath his fur and skin, his blood vessels bulged faintly like water dragons. Blood surged through them, making it seem as though countless Little Mice were writhing beneath Xu Yang's body surface.

Within the space in his lower abdomen.

One large and eight small—Nine Azure Luminous Micro-Planets revolved in an orderly manner. At the center was the Micro-Planet born when he broke through to Planet Level, the largest and brightest among them. At this moment, it emitted an inexplicable attraction toward the eight smaller planets orbiting around it.

This was precisely the breakthrough method Xu Yang had obtained from the Inheritance Space!

"Hiss, hiss~~"

The sound of shattering rang out endlessly. The eight stars were like punctured balloons, their internal energy rapidly linking with the central planet through Azure-Green Passages. Torrential energy rushed along these eight newly formed channels and poured into the central star!

The shriveling of the eight stars was Exchanged For the rapid expansion of the central planet. In the blink of an eye, its volume expanded tenfold, a hundredfold!

Its energy level soared like a rocket!

"Boom!!"

At last, the other eight azure planets completed their mission and exploded into motes of light. In the boundless void, only a single High-Temperature Star blazing with azure light remained, freely releasing its light and heat!!

At the same time, the bloodline purification within his body was complete. Almost instantly, an emotion so violent it was nearly tyrannical spread from Xu Yang's heart.

Outside.

His eyes turned blood-red in an instant.

"What a terrifying emotion!!" Xu Yang himself did not notice that he was now speaking the Mandarin of his previous life.

His eyes were blood-red, yet he clearly still retained his reason. He clenched his teeth, and with a thought, the star in the void of his lower abdomen released streams of hazy azure Origin Power, which spread like a tide through the blood vessels of his entire body.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Wave after wave, Origin Power fused with his bloodline, attempting to suppress its restlessness and even cleanse away the ferocity brought by it. However, Origin Power did not possess such miraculous abilities. It could soothe the bloodline's agitation, but to resist the violent aura originating from his bloodline, only Xu Yang's will could do so.

"Come on, let me see just how terrifying you really are!"

When Xu Yang saw that Origin Power could not solve the problem, his heart instead calmed down. With a tranquil mind, his consciousness proactively met the ferocious aura within his bloodline!

"Roar!"

In a daze, Xu Yang felt as though he had possessed a wolf-like demon beast with massive Bones, jet-black fur, and pale white pupils. As he entered it, the Black Shadow, which had seemed like a statue, suddenly trembled. At the same time, an incomparably baleful fluctuation slowly emanated from within it, like a Peerless Ferocious Demon awakening!

"Buzz—"

As the temporary master of the Black Shadow, Xu Yang instantly felt as if he had been thrown into a Vast Sea of Blood. Endless ferocious and violent auras continuously battered his consciousness, while he was like a Newly Promoted Helmsman amid raging waves. Though inexperienced, he held firmly to his principles, and the Sampan beneath his feet always survived each peril without disaster.

"In your dreams!!"

"You want to turn me into a beast that only knows bloodlust and slaughter?"

"Don't even think about it!!"

Roaring, Xu Yang vented at the Sea of Blood. A trace of clarity remained in his blood-red eyes from beginning to end!

In response to Xu Yang's provocation, the Sea of Blood surged even more violently, as though it wanted to overturn the entire sky. The Bloody aura it emitted seemed ready to solidify, and The entire space became blood-red!

At this moment, Xu Yang no longer dared to talk trash. He tightly guarded the Traces of clarity in his mind, refusing to let the ferocious aura occupy the last patch of pure land.

He did not know How Long had passed. Here, even time seemed to have lost its power. Only one thought remained in Xu Yang's consciousness—

Endure, endure, and fucking endure!

"Buzz—"

The baleful aura filling the sky receded like a tide, and the Sea of Blood returned to calm. A strange Bloody aura rose from it, invigorating yet carrying a sweet freshness. This Bloody aura passed through Xu Yang's consciousness and rapidly nourished his soul. His awareness became clear at a speed visible to the Naked eye, while the power of his soul rapidly grew stronger...

Back in reality, Xu Yang opened his eyes.

There were Traces of belated fear and exhaustion in his gaze. This bloodline leap had been far too dangerous. Had he failed to resist the erosion of that baleful aura, he might truly have become a beast that knew only slaughter and violence.

At the thought of losing himself, he could not help feeling afraid afterward.

"However, my memory and comprehension are much better than before. Is this the benefit brought by a bloodline advancement?" Xu Yang spoke, his voice slightly hoarse and carrying the deep timbre of a beast. "Fuck?"

"Is that me talking?!!"

Compared to the improvement in his memory and comprehension, being able to Open mouth and speak again brought Xu Yang even greater delight.

"Finally! Finally!!"

"I'm no longer limited to yelling 'Awoo, woo' every day. My voice is a little unpleasant, but at least I can speak!!"

"..."

On the Mountain Peak, something seemingly possessed kept chattering endlessly. Its voice was carried far away by the wind.

Unfortunately, no one could understand it.

He chattered to himself for more than half an hour before Xu Yang finally stopped, still wanting more.

It had been nearly a month. He could finally hear his own voice again. Unlike in the Training Room, this was real, and he could not get enough of hearing it!

Only after losing something did one understand how to cherish it. Xu Yang gained a new appreciation for the truth of those words.

By the pool, the Brown Bear stared at the drastically changed Xu Yang in astonishment.

Xu Yang was now nearly thirty-five meters long and stood fourteen meters at the shoulder. His body was no longer covered in silver fur, but in jet-black fur that looked exceptionally textured, without a single stray color!

If not for the familiar trace of Xu Yang still carried within that terrifying aura, the Brown Bear would have thought this was another wolf.

Yet despite recognizing the aura, the Brown Bear still feared Xu Yang somewhat. It could not be helped; an unrepressed Star Level presence was simply far too oppressive to an Apprentice Level being!
